Utah Expositions Commission Correspondence and subject files

Historical Note

Scope and Content

This series consists of subject-oriented files created by the Expositions Commission which document the planning, construction, furnishing, maintenance, and closing of the Utah buildings and exhibits at the Panama-Pacific and Panama-California Expositions. The primary record type is correspondence. Contracts, bids, reports, pamphlets, photographs, and newspaper clippings are also included.

Arrangement

Alphabetical by subject.

Research Note

The Expositions Commission did not necessarily sort these records by whether the records were relative to the Panama-Pacific or to the Panama-California Exposition. For those files which were easily identifiable as pertaining to one or the other, the file headings will include a note regarding which Exposition is of relevance.
